Carl,
I believe that what we're seeing is the installation of an authoritarian state.
This is different from the waning of Democracy and the ruling class ruling
behind a semblance of Democracy and proper procedures. While Obama's ICE was
deporting people, it was doing so quietly and there were some rules and there
was consideration for a few cases on a humanitarian basis. You've now got
Trump, Steve Bannon, and Steve Miller, and there's no pretense of Democracy, no
humanitarian considerations. Trump isn't pretending to play by the rules.

Speaking of birds of a feather, what's up with the secretary of state only
taking one(1) reporter along on his Asian Junket? And a fellow right winger,
too. Trumps new secretaries and their army of appointed administrators are
bringing their Goldman Sachs skills right into the White House. Still and all,
we need to get past gawking at these Clowns, and get back to figuring out how
to drain this new Swamp that is replacing the old one.
The Swamp is the problem, not the alligators that live in it. If we wander
back through the history of the USA, we find that our economy is like a roller
coaster. There really hasn't been much in the way of a stable economy for the
working class. Of course its been just fine for the folks on the top of the
hill, behind their secure walls.
But for the "common folks" it seems that just about the time things are looking
up, down we go again. But not the Ruling Class.
And yet, there they were, stomping and snorting in Nashville. It's like they
haven't yet figured out that the Trumpster is laughing up his sleeve at their
expense. I think of those air filled clowns with the big smile painted on
their faces. Every time you knock one down, it pops right back up, grinning
all the time.
Remember Mad Magazine with Alfred E. Neuman grinning out from the cover,
saying,"What, me worry?" Well, Alfred's been a busy boy over the years,
because there's a whole big bunch of his offspring running around today.

The nut doesn't fall far from the Hickory Tree.
President Trump says that he is a lot like President Andrew Jackson.
This could well be the first honest statement made by Trump.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday toured The Hermitage, the historic
home of President Andrew Jackson, and placed a wreath on the seventh
president's tomb. Trump, the first sitting president to visit since
Ronald Reagan, toured the mansion and a somber Trump walked under to
Jackson's tomb saluting and laying a wreath as Taps played in the
background. The visit by the 45th president is historic. Jackson's
populist politics have resonated with Trump.
